Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Willow Park, TX
I see individuals and teens who have been carrying more than they can comfortably hold. You appear fine on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside — navigating anxiety, irritability, emotional dysregulation, trauma, ADHD‑related challenges, depression or stress. You might be stuck in patterns you can’t break, disconnected from yourself, or unsure how to communicate what you need. You may have tried therapy before and felt unheard; or it might be the first time and want a therapist who is warm, steady, and clinically grounded. Come to my space where you can slow down, breathe, and be fully seen without judgement.

Life transitions can be thrilling, but they often expose the cracks in how we’ve been living. If you’ve spent your life acting as a "chameleon", blending into your surroundings to keep the peace or meet expectations, you might find that you’ve lost the thread of who you actually are.

Whether you are neurotypical or navigating life with late-diagnosed ADHD, I use tools like CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR tailored to your unique brain.
On paper, you look fine. You're capable, resilient, and a high-achiever. But internally, keeping up with expectations while navigating big life pivots has left you exhausted. You are quietly breaking down behind that exterior, running on overthinking, high-masking anxiety, or hidden adult ADHD. You understand your patterns logically, but insight alone hasn't changed things. Your nervous system reads boundaries as a risk, triggering intense guilt. I provide a practical, trauma-informed space to help you drop the performance, build real boundaries, and finally step into lasting clarity. You don't need a diagnosis to belong here.

I tailor therapy to each individual, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT), with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Rather than trying to eliminate thoughts and emotions, we will focus on developing a more flexible, empowered relationship with them. Through this process, you’ll build practical skills to navigate intense emotions, respond to challenges with confidence, and take committed action toward a fulfilling life.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
